Akai stared down at her plate... This was their hottest level? It didn't even look red like at all?? She glanced up at the lunch server who gave a thumbs up. "Thanks..." She stared quizzically down at this really normal looking karaage curry. Well, whatever she'd deal with that later... She turned walking out of the end of the line and towards the tables of the cafeteria.

Groups of students were naturally congregated together among the tables but she'd done enough social exercise recently. She walked to an empty table sitting with her meal before looking down at that curry. She tentatively took a bite, her face falling with the realization that yup. Totally weak!

Well, it was a good thing she was always prepared. She took a small bottle of chili oil out of her school bag and putting only 3 drops on her plate before stirring it in and taking a taste.

Much better!

ow fortunate UAU's cafeteria offered a most plentiful menu. Farrin eyed the burger and fries on his tray. Was it the healthiest option? Absolutely not. Had mama O'rourke been around, she would have smacked him into next week for his choice. Fun food on a weekday? Never. But, he had been training hard atop his hill in the training grounds. And after passing the moving-up exam and officially being moved into a second-year class, well, he could afford a cheat meal. 

A sanguine stare watched as his many peers marched this way and that. This far along the hero track, he still hadn't many people he considered friends, and most's schedules saw them in class at this hour, but not all. Maybe a familiar face or two would be about. But not yet. Not that he saw, at least. So, he tended to his prize meal. A taste of the greasy goods of home. 

A few fries down the hatch, then a rather monstrous bite into his burger. "That hits the spot," he muttered to himself. He was alone at his table as well, only a few over from Akaiken, but then, he didn't recognize the girl, so there wasn't much reason to make note of it in his eyes. Nope, for the moment, his attention was entirely fixed on his food. He had another hour or so until his next class. That was time to eat, get back out to the training field for a quick run, and then head back in for class. First. Item number one. Eat. The body needed fuel, especially when one ran at the time-turned speeds he did. Even if that fuel maybe wasn't of the best quality.

[attr="class,"memoryDarkbody"]The cafeteria was always busy and yet today it was as if the amount of people had tripled. Perhaps it was because of the timing, with midday classes having just gotten out and everyone ready for the lunch rush. For Sumi this wasn't any different as today was a full day of classes instead of working at Tiamat. As for the class, it was Engineering Project Management, and they had recently been assigned partners for an exercise in teamwork and combining different engineering schools. Luck was on Sumi's side as she was paired with a second year, Masao Ando who specialized in weaponsmithing with a focus on bladed weaponry. It was a unique opportunity to try something new and she was excited!
[break][break]
"So Ando-san can I hear about some of the weapons you've made in the past?" with a tray of food she walked alongside her taller senior looking for an empty table or at least one in which there was some space for the two of them. Eventually, her eyes landed on Akai's table, and she made her way over, greeting her warmly, "Excuse me, do you mind if we sit here?" Assuming Akai agreed or at the very least didn't protest, she would take a seat across from Ando and continue their talk "Do you think we could make some sort of organic sword? I know that's not an easy thing to imagine but maybe...an live sensor in the weapon?" she'd take a sip from her tea and wait to hear what Ando's thoughts were.

[Masao Ando]

Sumi Okita was one of those promising new talents in the support hero course Masao had already taken note of. While she didn't understand much in the way of biochemical engineering she noticed that Sumi had a knack for not only presenting, but explaining even the most complex theory in layman's terms. ''Bladed weapons may not be as flashy as the equipment that is procured in other manufacturing disciplines, but the beauty lies in their simplicity.'' It was a rather cryptic answer, but she continued. ''Most swords for instance have a simple function, that is to cut or penetrate. On the more advanced side, I've made swords that could channel the elemental properties of a elemental quirk user. In other words, swords that can channel fire or electricity where the wielder acts as its power source.''

Carrying her own tray of food she walked alongside Sumi, offering Akaiken a stoic look. She bowed her head lightly at the new student before taking a seat. ''I don't think it's impossible.'' She took her cup of tea and held it in her hand to let it cool for a moment as she answered Sumi. ''The metal of the blade is flexible and it would merely depend on the organic proponent. Does it require a lot of space? If so, I propose making the model a two-handed sword to compensate.'' She took a sip from her cup and looked over at Akaiken, realizing they were nerding it up at this table with their support student talk. ''Pardon, we didn't mean to hijack the conversation at this table. I'm Masao Ando and this is Sumi Okita.''

Akai glanced up from her meal seeing someone approach... False alarm, the tall man turned and went to another empty table. Good. She turned her gaze back to her food taking another bite when she noticed two people approaching from the other side!

She looked up a a white-haired girl asked if she and a super tall red-haired girl could sit there, but sat down before Akai could finish chewing that bite. "Hey!"She choked out as they prattled on about... wait, now that she was paying attention she realized they were talking about swords. Her eyebrows furrowed listening to the content of their conversation before the tall redhead apologized for 'hijacking the conversation' and introducing them both. She thought to comment on it but decided better muttering a small "Nice to meet you." not bothering to introduce herself.

Instead she opted to jump straight in "Wait, living organic or dead organic? Because bone knives and wooden swords already exist. Although both are inferior to steel they could make a good jumping off point, for example since bone is porous you can infuse it with another material." her head tilting slightly as she spoke.

The cafeteria truly had a varied menu. Catering to a student body that seemed more multicultural by the year it was almost a necessity and UAU never seemed to fail at living up to expectations. Had Khepri not brought their own food they'd likely be stuck poring over the menu for quite some time but instead they managed to join their roommate at the table just after Masao and Sumi had. 

Opening their bucket of bamboo shoot and mackerel ice cream they stabbed their fork into it and began to wiggle a chunk loose. Khepri's eyes were briefly drawn to Masao. Then back to the fork. Back to Masao. Fork once more. They shrugged. It was probably nothing. Their brain did have the tendency to overthink things when it wasn't necessary after all.

“Did you know teeth are the only socially acceptable bones to show people? Except for me, I’ve got an exoskeleton.”


Khepri had been paying attention to both the support duo's words and those of Akai. All of it combined in the catbug's mind, swirling and bouncing around until a conclusion was produced. Khepri raised their arm in front of their face, staring hard enough at the plating of their forearm that their gaze seemed to almost bore holes through it. Muttering to themself they got an idea.

"It'd grow back anyway, right?"

Their gaze flicked to the time turner sitting a few tables away. Maybe Khepri wouldn't even have to wait all that long.

"Hey, Farrin, what do outside bones do to your quirk?"

[attr="class,"memoryDarkbody"]"Oh, I'm so sorry! I should have introduced myself." she'd give a slight bow. "Pleasure to meet you!" Unfolding her chopsticks, Sumi would listen intently as she began to dig in. This time around she went with a pork cutlet bowl with a side of pickled radish - something quick and tasty! The prospect of weapons with elemental properties widened her eyes and she could barely contain her excitement. "Really?? You're really talented Ando-san!" Sure, what Ando had been doing wasn't exactly groundbreaking, but it sure as heck was impressive that she had this much of a resume when she was only a 2nd year.
[break][break]
She had intended to keep this conversation, which would bore your average student, just between them, but to her pleasant surprise, it seemed like this other girl was also interested in the topic. "That's a good point! Would you like to join us properly, um- I'm sorry I never caught your name?" she would pat the space next to her and then turn to the newcomer who was familiar with the mystery redhead. "You as well! The more, the merrier!" with that invitation being extended, she'd turn back to Masao and continue, "My idea was based on a project I've seen at work; we call them bio-helpers! They're these little Mollusca invertebrates like a oversized slug for example." she would take a bite from her pickled radish and continue "They can basically be preprogrammed for singular tasks and the only required maintenance is food and water. If there was some way we could house one of them in the hilt and the material of the blade could be flexible enough, we could probably create a sword that could change shape or even extend by combining the bio-mass from the bio-helper!"
[break][break]
As she went to take another bite she realized that the newer person was talking to someone named Farrin...wait Farrin? "Oh! You're Farrin! Freja has told me a lot of good things about you; its a pleasure!"

arrin was a machine scarfing down his food. All of it was swiftly flying down the hatch. His hand probed his pocket for the heirloom he carried, his golden pocket watch with an emerald encrusted at its heart. He thumbed the device open, eyeing the time, then returning to his meal. Time enough still to eat, rest for a few, get back to training, then move on to class. 

Then he heard his name. Farrin turned to face the student who had called out to him. The table was full of unfamiliar faces. Well, one had jogged his memory back to the day of that yacht party. That was the girl that hosted it calling out to him now, right?

Well, he was caught now. It would be rude to pretend otherwise. Barty continued to encourage him to speak with other students, even outside classes. More so than usual. Maybe the big fella figured Farrin could use the distractions. So, Farrin grabbed onto his tray and moseyed on over. 

"Yeah, dat's me," he answered Sumi. "N' yer' Sumi, the one that hosted the yacht party a while back, right?" He asked, taking a seat. He glanced around the table and then set his sights on Mafdet, who initially called out to him. 

"N' I apologize, didn't quite catch the question. Didja ask 'bout the effect o' bones on me' quirk?" He hadn't been paying attention to everything around him when he first heard his name and wanted to be sure he heard right. "If so, I mean, move faster or slower like anythin' else I use me' quirk on, really. Nothin' particularly special."

[Masao Ando]

She was surprised that the red-haired student took interest in their conversation. ''I suppose organic weaponry can be quite simple in its makeup, but given that Okita-san would be in charge of the organic part I expect it would be much more elaborate. Her skills in the biochemical realm are quite unparalleled.'' To her, making swords was nothing special, anyone could learn it with enough time and patience, but sciences were much more intricate. She looked over at Khepri, giving their nonsense thoughts a good moment to process before replying. ''I suppose when you put it like that you're right. I assume the exoskeleton is part of your quirk?''

Looking back at Sumi, she wondered how slugs could be relevant to making an organic weapon until she elaborated further. ''I see. A weapon that houses a creature. I believe with the right amount of care we can make it happen, I'll review the materials I have available and we can run some tests for compatibility when we get back to the labs.''

Farrin O'Rourke? You would be hard pressed to find a student who hadn't heard about him and his merits, especially if said student was trying to keep up to date with the hero course like she was. Of course she too had heard about him from Freja as they sparred frequently, and the quirkless student had brought up how she admired Farrin's prowess in combat. His accent was unmistakably... Different, but hard to place. ''Surely time, even distilled into the form of a quirk has an effect on almost anything, including bones.'' She posited for the sake of keeping conversation going.
